I am sure there is a compilation somewhere in here but I couldn't find anything. I am looking for a list of all playable reanimation spells. I assume most will be black, and some white, but I don't want to rule out other colors too.
I will organize and update this post if anyone has any.
Thanks everyone!
@Gaka - That is a great list and I think that I will probably compile cards to bring cards back to your hand, but for this I just want to the cards that bring creatures back from Grave to Play - and not Living Death type cards that get to be used by everyone. I want your Primeval Titan and Consecrated Sphinx, not you
I argue that Emeria the Sky Ruin is a white source, not a colorless source. It taps for W, and you need 7 plains (or w/e) to reanimate, so you kinda need to be playing W

I've edited stuff.
And yeah, if I am going to call Crypt Champion Multicolored then Emeria should be white.
I thought I posted, but either it got removed or my internet failed:
Yawgmoth's Will is NOT a reanimate effect....if you are going to include will you need to include ALL graveyard recursion effects, but IMO that should be a different thread or section.
Dude thank you so much for this! I was legitimately going on here last night to dredge up all the reanimator lists and find the best stuff, and lo and behold, this thread appears. Seems like you've got all the sweet tech at this point....Life/Death was my super secret poor man's reanimate.

Here is the top 50 most played cards according to the statistical breakdown that have "return", "creature", "graveyard" and "battlefield" in their rules text.
The number before each cardname is the number of decks in the decklist database (< 1 year old) that play that card.
I will organize and update this post if anyone has any.

It's an updated version of Brawl into an epic, new game.
Is Second Sunrise or any persist-like ability too narrow to consider?
Ashen Powder - Opponent's Grave only
False Defeat Identical to Breath of Life
Gravespawn Sovereign - Zombie Tribal
Gruesome Encore - There's better, but it acts as graveyard removal if you think you need it.
Makeshift Mannequin - I use this w/ Child of Alara
Rise from the Grave - Zombie Tribal
Soul Exchange - Thrulls?
Loyal Retainers - Sisay deck, or just for your general.
Tariel, Reckoner of Souls - A general!
Yore-Tiller Nephilim - Five color only. Dies a lot.
I'm noticing that Living Death and the mass reanimation effects are missing. I assume you just want the pinpoint stuff.

Why hasn't WotC made more cards like Reveillark? It's exactly what they want standard and modern to be about. IE not big things like Griselbrand
